PlN-TIC'KET FOR FABRICS, CLOTHING, ac.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 795,240, dated July 18, 1905.

Application filed April 13, 1904:. Serial No. 203,615.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN G. S'r. J OHN, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and use ful Improvements in Pin-Tickets for Fabrics, Clothing, &c., of which the following is a specification.

This invention in pin-tickets or tags for woven, knitted, felted, or other fabrics, clothing, &c., essentially consists of a piece of cardboard or other such material of the desired size and outline and suitable for being printed or otherwise marked on and which in the direction of its thickness is adapted for the insertionof a pin or pins of the ordinary or any other suitable kind through it along a plane parallel, or substantially so, to its opposite sides or faces and again for a portion of the fabric, 850., on which it is to be used and in the direction of the thickness of the fabric, &c., to be disposed within its thickness so that the said pin or pins on being inserted, as stated, can be then passed through the so-disposed thickness of the fabric, &c., and thereby the ticket secured to the fabric, &c., and all in a manner preferably to have the pin or pins lie wholly within and concealed or buried, as it were, within the thickness of the ticket or at least its or their points and more or less of its or their length.

In the accompanying plate of drawings, forming part of this specification, pin-tickets or tags of this invention are illustrated. The cardboard, &c., is shown as somewhat increased in thickness for a better or a more distinct showing of the parts, and the tickets are shown in various forms of adaptation in accordance with this invention for receiving the pin or pins and the fabric, &c., all as hereinafter particularly described.

Figures 1, 5, 8, and 9 are face views of a ticket or tag of this invention, showing it as secured to a piece of a fabric, such as cloth. Figs. 2, 6, and 10 are sectional views on correspondingly-numbered lines of Figs. 1, 5,

therein, but yet all embracing the features of this invention as hereinbefore stated.

In the drawings, A is the ticket, B is the pin, and O is the fabric, &c., with the ticket secured, as is shown, to it by means of the pin or pins B.

The ticket A is made of card or other such like board which is capable of having a pin B of any of the ordinary or other suitable kinds inserted in and through it and along and in a plane parallel, or substantially so, to its opposite sides or faces A A and preferably so as to have the pin Wholly concealed or buried, as it were, in its thickness, the pin being of suitable length and diameter therefor.

To permit of the insertion of a pin, as above stated, the ticket preferably is made of card or other such board of suitable thickness, as shown; but it may be formed with raised ribs (0, as in Figs. 7, 8, 11, and 12, or backed with cloth (0 as in Fig. 3, and the pin in the one instance forced through the ribs a and in the other instance between the cloth a and the cardboard A, the cloth serving as a guide to the insertion of the pin. The material of the ticket is such as to permit of being printed or otherwise marked on. Again, the ticket in its thickness is adapted, as for illustration in Figs. 1, 2, 4:, 5, and 8, by a hole a through it, or, in Figs. 9, 10, 11, by a depression or depressions (E on one and preferably its back side for the fabric, &c., O, to which the ticket is to be attached, to be disposed within its thickness and in the said hole or holes or depression or depressions and'in such manner and as shown that the pin or pins B on being inserted as above stated can be passed therethrough, and thereby the ticket fastened to the fabric, &c. (See Figs. 2-, 4, 10, 11, and 12 more particularly.)

The pin-ticket of this invention secured to the fabric, &c., with a'pin or pins of proper length, all substantially as above described, lies flat upon the goods, presents no pin point or points for the catching of oth er goods thereon and taken as a whole is in every way most simple, efficacious, and economical.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination with a ticket or tag, made of cardboard or other such like material, and a fabric of any suitable kind lying in part Within the thickness of the tag, of a pin inserted through and lying in the thickness of the tag and passing through the goods Z lying Within the thickness of the tag, substan tially as described for the purpose specified.

2. The. combination With a ticket or tag made of cardboard or other such like material and having a hole through its thickness and a fabric of any suitable kind lying in part Within said hole of the tag, of a pin inserted through and lying in the thickness of the tag and. passing through the goods lying Within said hole of the tag, substantially as described
